Does anyone know other movie he was in? I thought he was great but I don't recognize him at all. It would be nice to see some of his other work especially if his performances are equally as good.

I know, I know. I was pained that I wasn't enjoying it and in the end had to admit I didn't like it. I's rare that I want to see a movie (maybe 3 times a year if that) and I wanted to see that one. I just found it bland

Yeah, I he was in the movie Before Night Falls, with Johnny Depp. I also remember him in this movie, The Dancer Upstairs (I think that's what it was called, it was directed by John Malkovich). And I want to say that he was in one or two Almodovar films. And The Sea Inside, I think it was called. He was supposed to be really great in that, but I haven't seen it

I read the book a few months ago. It is very good. I reccomend picking it up- its a quick read.
I've only seen previews for the film, but it looks good. Takes place in a deserty place right? For some reason i always pictured it taking place in the mountains of alaska or something....
Anyways pick up the book, it made me want to become some psyco killer guy- i'm still nulling it over...
